Worship Series: "Open Your Heart"
from www.umcdiscipleship.org

This Ordinary Time worship series invites us to consider how we live open-heartedly in a risky world and at a contentious time. Does opening our hearts mean being more naïve or wearing rose-colored glasses in the face of hard truths? Whether we’re talking about love of God or love of neighbor or even love of country, we are invited to live into reality with a hope for kin-dom values and the promise of eternity. It is not always easy to be a person of faith, but we come closer to Christ when we open our hearts.

This Service's Theme: In Weakness and in Strength"
Worship Planning Notes

In some ways, Paul invites us to plan worship around a fairly simple idea: opening our hearts to our weakness and God’s strength.
